1902, p. 109 (Entebbe) ; Jackson, t. c. p. 611 (Kavirondo; 

 Kampala; Eldoma Ravine) ; Neumann, J. f. 0. 1905, 

 p. 186. 



H. 914. ? imm. Near Kangar/s, in the open country 

 between Kangao's and the Albert Lake, Feb. 22, 1902. Iris 

 light greenish grey ; bill yellow ; feet brown, much scored 

 with white. Four of these birds were sitting together on 

 the branches of a great dead tree. Every now and then one 

 would soar up into the air, sometimes hovering there for a 

 second or two, and after repeating this action two or three 

 times, would return to the tree, but not always to the same 

 branch. I have noticed this habit also in the case of Bee- 

 eaters. 



H. 978. <J ad. Katwe, Toro, March 7, 1902. Bill yel- 

 low ; feet light greyish green. An exceedingly common 

 bird in Toro. 



H. 1061. J ad. Near Kangao's, March 16, 1902. Bill 

 yellow; feet dirty brownish green. Nearly always to be 

 met with in fairly open bush, with a few dead trees about. 



H. 1116. (J ad. Toro Forest, March 20, 1902. Four of 

 these birds were hawking about at sunset, after the fashion 

 of Nightjars. Evidently very common in these parts. 



H. 1171. $ imm. Ankole, April 4, 1902. Iris brown; 

 bill yellow; feet light greyish green. 



[I do not see how these birds can be separated from 

 E. afer of West Africa, but a further study is necessary. —

20. EURYSTOMUS GULARIS. 



Eurystomus yuluris Vieill. ; Sharpe, Hand-1. B. ii. p. 47 

 (1900) ; Hartert, Nov. Zool. vii. p. 33 (1900 : Kitimi, 

 Ituri Forest) ; Reichenow, Vog. Afrikas, ii. p. 231 (1902). 



H. 1076. S ad. Toro, March 17, 1902. Bill yellow; 

 feet dirty brownish green. 



[I cannot separate this specimen from West African 

 examples of E. gularis. Some of the upper tail-coverts are 

 edged with blue, but I find traces of the same colour on 

 specimens from Gaboon and the Gold Coast. — R. B. S.]
